I wouldn't even guess however this is the internet and sites can and often do get replaced. To suggest nobody will create a site to log information and have others log information if Wiki went away is silly.

Shit, we might have to go back to the way it was in the dark ages and use *shudder* books and encyclopedias.

Or Google. Pretty sure Google is still a thing.

People were like this when YouTubers did sponsorships too or asked for likes or subscribing.

If it really comes down to it, Wikipedia will probably just do ads.

Maybe it can go the route of Facebook, collect user data, and make targeted ads.

They will probably do that anyway once the donation well as run dry.

Lol they always tell me something like $12 is what they need. I donated once before. I think it was $20. I dont feel like doing it again just yet.

Remember when Myspace was king before Facebook? Or Yahoo before Google? Or AoL before Yahoo?.

Nothing is irreplaceable.

If Wikipedia can't control how bigly they've grown despite control over the top level domain, they can go under like a thousand Napsters before them.
